This is what I'm getting into, out here in Altus, OK

You guys rock! I'm just thankful you're one of the guys in the cockpit and not one of the guys jumping out. I bet the people of Altus are really appreciative of the supplies you're dropping off to them. :)

Ah yes, the memories. . . Are you guys doing LAPES at Altus? I suppose you'll even get to (hold your breath) go TDY to Pope! The one good thing about being based at Pope was I never had to go TDY there. Keep up the good work.

Uncle Rick...sorry to say, but we don't do LAPES in the C-17 anymore. We used to, and there's still a LAPES position on our spoiler arming switch, but it is a thing of the past, at least for us. Probably too many mishaps or something...the Air Force ruins everything fun eventually, right?

And yes, I will be at Pope a lot. It should be a hoot. I'm in Lexington now at the parent's new house...stopped by on the way back to Charleston from Altus, just in time to bask in the glory of the new basketball hire.
